I think we should not try to get the locations from other investigation than cracking the riddles. The other avenues have given us motive, method and victimology, but we're not supposed to be able to get the locations that way as far as I understand the game.

So: "My bones are not old"...is there anything else that could possibly point in the direction of the sites beginning with "New"?

PRE-POTENTIAL SOLUTION
Chief,
We need to make phone calls to all eligible places like hotels and institutions and ask them if any bookings were made by a company named INTREPID PICTURES.
Let us focus on Sheldonville first, then MARGARET ANNE PENITENTIARY.
However, they may have booked an acommodation in the surroundings, so check them all !!

...hoping the missing letters don't spell out TENT...

EDIT: Oh, and the murder site mirrors Pet Sematary.

but terribly smelling, small

*Groan* I can't believe I missed Cunning ham! In fact, it occurred to me immediately when Jack revealed that there was something to find there. And I can't believe we never sent anyone there...we were so close!

How very nice of you to collect money for these women's surgical breast reductions.

Very good first game! Only different bad endings for me so far, but I still have more to do.

One small gripe:

Spoiler

The walking on the platform outside of the station is a bit boring because it takes too long. I guess this adds to the realism and it's hard to do anything about when you use real time, but still there's a lot of walking. A fast forward of some kind would have been a nice addition in this part.

[close]

Otherwise: Great atmosphere and reasonably difficult. I'll try to reach all seven endings. 

I think the solution must have something to do with "PIGS". Do they produce pig iron somewhere? Do any of the place names have any swine-like meaning I'm not aware of?

Chief, this Daniel Wiseman may be the latest kidnapped person. We ought to work out if he is connected to the movie project. Is there any way we can do this? Perhaps our IT-wizards can conjure up something from his socal media?

Just in case the suspect should be crazy enough to send us some of his own blood, we also need to make sure Wiseman is not the criminal himself. I'd guess our perp probably owns signed special editions of Mr. King's books. These are ordered from the publisher, and we could probably discover pretty quickly if Wiseman had ordered something like that. I doubt we'll find anything, but at least it could rule that possibility out.

Another thought - we've already had a message in the last letters. How about one using the letters in the middle? Is there any hope there? ("in the middle of it all")

I take Pangborn's thoughts as a hint that our pentagram is not it. We have to think easier, somehow.

Why don't we send a full squad to Sheldonville, tell them to be very careful ( as if that is necessary now!), and let them go to Cunningham Centre if Sheldonville is a red herring?

Mind you, the pentacle could be a happy coincidence, but I feel it's worth checking out. Sheldonville also was the result of the W-shape.

[General Discussion]

Since the distinction does not appear be to clear to everybody: if a thread is an invitation to a discussion or conversation on some general topic, it belongs in General Discussion. An example of this would be asking people to explain something to you, such as this post. (In many cases these are well suited for the Ask something - We can help thread.)

If it's not intended as a conversation, but more "something to do," like sharing stuff you like, jokes, or forum games, then it goes in the Rumpus Room.

We're terribly sorry that we were too objective for the rumpus room. 

The argument for the apostrophe in that case must be that one should not write numbers and letters in the same word, like "3 thousand" or "4yearold". Norwegian requires a hyphen. We write literally the 90-years.

I don't think such a rule exists in English, as demonstrated by "1st," "3rd," etc. (I'm firmly on the apostrophe-less "90s" side of this style debate, though I don't mind the initial apostrophe.)

You are correct. The stuff about Norwegian was an attempt to make a fun fact. Different languages, different rules.

[Potential solution]

Potential solution Let's send someone to Sheldonville. Proceed with caution and look for traps!

How does the star look if Sheldonville is the final stud?

I don't think we're supposed to wait around...we have enough clues to try taking some step. (If we don't, I guess the chief will refuse to send out troops.) The pentagram is based purely on the zig and zag line, but I'd like to check it out. What do you say? Cunningham Centre?

Ian, if the lines were to form a pentagram (a five-studded star), where would the last one go?

Edit: That goes to all, of course, not only Ian. You draw a pentagram by zigging and zagging.

Questprobe featuring The Hulk?

Yes, that's correct!

Yes, but which one? (Or was only one of them called that?)

Okay, here goes:
